we should use simpler version of linux command instead of find command. Also Chapter 72 uses old version of command syntax.. can this be modified to latest version.

This is another course by Max I went thru and again I really enjoyed it. The explanations are clear and topics covered in logical order without needless talking. Also his diction is clear, which allows to play lectures faster (x2).

Great course, Max makes it very understandable, his style is just perfect. He is not only telling what do do but also what not to, and what would happen if this then that... which is what discerns a great teacher from an ordinary one. Bravo!!!

Excellent teaching method using simple project and focusing on what really matters, the Github Actions. Also has a nice concise review lessons on Git and Github. This course can and will be used as a reference guide on this subject.

I was expecting more and rather precise content on GitHub actions and not basics of GitHub. If someone is aware of basics, in order to finish the course, we are bound to go through all the basic content, which can be avoided if it is split properly.

easy explanations so far, and he knows how to explain a lot of features easily, or as simple as possible. wish it could be more minutes on artifacts and outputs, but at least I get the general idea I would give gladly 5 full stars, but the final sections about Security seems outdated. The project files are from finished project, so you can not train building the example. Also as far I understood the web client in the aws now is only avaiable for federal accounts, which kinda sucks.
